Having been a avid naysayers myself for the better of 40 years (started the audiophile game at age 20) I just recently got converted. Now that does not imply that I think the higher the cost the better the cable. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who loaned my a $4500.00 speaker cable to use in my system. Yes the cable sounded superb and I can easily hear the difference from my usual cable. Music to my ears. Worth the thousands better? Well I don't think so. Better yes but not always. I noticed that some of my older recordings were unpalatable using the expensive cable. I had never noticed that before. Some newer recordings sounded really engaging. It was obvious to me that the cable was revealing pros and cons of the quality of the recording or maybe the cable is more synergistic with my components. All I will opine on is that cables do make a difference good and bad and are overpriced for sure. But then again a dollar for me is a penny for someone else.
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
For those who state that cables don't make a difference...... are you saying that all cables sound the same? If not, what are you saying? I've experimented with many different brands and materials and I can't possibly believe that those naysayers hear no differences. And if the science says that the cables should sound the same, a simple experiment (listening!!!) should prove otherwise. Or, are these naysayers not listening for changes in resolution, soundstaging/imaging, coherence.....and so on between cables? Please elaborate on what you are NOT hearing and feel free to drop names. What cables have you compared that didn't sound different? I've just gotta know. I'm floored every time I see a post or response in which cables are called snake oil or something comparable. Please enlighten me......Thanks.
